Date: August 17, 2010
Agenda Item No.:
Subject: Life, Accidental Death & Dismemberment Resolution
Request: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO RENEW THE CONTRACT
WITH STANDARD INSURANCE TO PROVIDE GROUP LIFE AND ACCIDENTAL
DEATH, AND DISMEMBERMENT INSURANCE FOR CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI FULL
TIME EMPLOYEES. TO BE CHARGED TO DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNT NUMBERS
RESPECTIVELY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Reason /Need: We have received renewal rates from our current group life, accidental death, and
dismemberment insurance carrier, Standard Insurance. Standard Insurance proposed a
23.5% decrease for the Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment.
Life /AD &D (Rate Guarantee Period: 2 Years thru 9/3012012)
$0.13 (per $1,000)
The City would cover the 100% of the $9,640 annual rate for Life /AD &D. Based on current
enrollment assumptions (142 FTE), the annual decrease from this year to the next two
years would be approximately 2,966 per year. Current staffing levels are at 144 full time
employees.
